Ventora3300 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Very well done, Dave, an excellent Beaver and a smashing build. You'll find that missing window shade next week sometime! There has been a lot of work since your last update - look at that fuselage stripe. Anyway, sit back and enjoy now. All the best, Mike. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Excellent model Dave. It is great to see a different model being made with a fine result. Particularly after having to put up with my dramas of late. I hope my next completed build will be close to your standard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 That looks brilliant, & bloody bright, I needed my sunnies on to look closely. A lovely job all around Dave, one to be really proud of. 👍 Steve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 10 hours ago, Bonhoff said: At last! IanJ You’re not wrong Ian!! Thanks for all your generous comments, it’s all very gratifying and helps one push through to the end. I have to say, I am so glad I decided to join a BM GB approx twelve months ago. Having a realistic deadline certainly helps procrastinating modellers like myself push on to actually finish something. There are just too many distractions in life that play havoc with slow builders like me, however the online support that everyone shares is truly something I look forward to when the going gets a little tough. This GB has been amazing and thanks to you lot, not exactly great for reducing one’s stash (currently looking at Sopwith Pup, BN Islander, BAe 125, Shorts Skyvan & Bristol Super Freighter) all acquired within the last few months!! Cheers and thanks.. Dave 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Update #12 - GB Gallery Entry (Finally!!) OK - I'm calling this whole GB done (besides the build list updates of course!). The Beaver is now safely tucked away into the Gallery for long time preservation. It's been a whole lot of fun and I'm sure those that participated are all thankful they did. Well done to hosts Ian @Lawzer and Mike @Ventora3300 for making this possibly the best BM GB ever. Here's one glamour shot of my build and theres more you know where? Cheers..

It is a fantastic GB with all the modellers who are involved and all I can say is...roll on the next one! However, roll on the 14th first so I can get finished (4 kits to go) and draw breath a bit. If fact, I'm off on a holiday on Saturday so Friday is the deadline for me). All the best. Mike. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 What an excellent result for this old Airfix beaver. As mentioned above: "Outstanding" result. This must have been fun. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Just want to add to the repeat compliments. I do like the idea of it being on a snowy base with the tents etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Reviewing this build now in anticipation of Airfix's re-release of this mighty fine kit. I'll be careful about the pilot's seats. Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be careful about the pilot's seats. Looks great! Thanks Kenny, I forgot about those two pilots seats not lining up with the front windows, that’s certainly something to be careful of. This is also the second of my ‘threads from the vault’ that has been revived today…. I think they are best left there! I’m glad Airfix has decided to revive this great kit and I’ll probably go a British Army one next time around. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
